Option Block 120: Doin' Stuff

Trading Block: Another mild day on the market. Metals/Commodities rundown - GLD up a bit, but not much. Premium on the VIX futures is getting crushed. Corn and grains limit down after a USDA report this morning rocked the market.

Around the Block: Earnings outlook: Goldman Sachs, Citi - 1/18, Intel - 1/19, as well as Apple - 1/24. Will we push through the 1300-level, or will it act as a level of resistance? Next Wednesday is VIX expiration for the Jan contracts.
